A Realizing Conscience.

There are a great many people who
cultivate cOnscientiOusness to a greater
or less degree, but after all there an
comparatively few mortals who possess
or desire to possess, a realizing con-
science. A realizing belief" of which
theOlOgians are apt to discourse. NAV
be defined as a belief which involves a
thorough consciousness of the cOnse-
quences and the responsibilities of
a course of conduct; a state of mind
which consents not to ignore the logical
consequence Of a position. Most con
sciences COntine themselves to deciding
upon a course of action and decline to
be troubled to consider the deductions
which inevitably follow from the posi-
tons taken; and it happens more fre-
quently than not that one decision is by
all rules of logic inconsistent with those
which went before and those which
come after it. Mortality is apt to be
quite as largely self deception as it is
inner illumination; and there are far
more people who devote themselves to
befOgging their moral sense than to en-
tightening it.
A realizing conscience is q somewhat
awkward and troublesome possession.
If man, for instance. has put him
self under the guidance of such a men
tor, he can no more commit INSIDE
menOns in the way of business unre-
buked than he can indulge them in def
ance Of the law. If he regards It as a
wrong to pick the pocket of his neigh
Dor on the highway, he is not allowed
unreprOved to commit the same depre-
dalton by process of law in his counting
room. If his conscience reprove han
for an undisguised falsehOOd, he knows
perfectly well that he cannot beguile it
into approving a lie because he has
tricked it in cunningIy-devised dis
guises. Neither does the realizing CON
science keep one standard by which to
measure the deeds Of its pOssessOr and
a different scale for those of
his fellows; it brings him to the bar
IS sharply, as unsparingly and as eff
fectually as it does his enemy over
whose peccadilOes he has gloated with
keenly discriminating righteousness
1t Is not to be wondered that a con-
science Of this sort is by no means pop
ular. The general diffusion of these
instruments of torture would revolu-
tlOnlZe the morals of society, besides
| causing their owners incalculable pain
and inconvenience. 1t is, Of course,
| conceivable that the cause of righteous
ness might be served by the spread of
this rare virtue, but there Is no little
ground for sUppOsing such a diffusion
of the realizing conscience to be immi-
nent as would render this consideration
Of any Immediate practical application.

4 Lie Not to De- FnYied.

To be a belle, with all it implies, is
really arduous. 1t means devotion TO
everybody and everything except ones
self, with no quiet moments; it means
to live in the glare of public life, to
have every action noticed and criticised.
No wonder the term professional
beauty" came up in Londonl 1t is q
most difficult profession" to follow, to
be always at ones best, never to obtrude
private griefs or joys, to be always IN
ruified.
How few who are really beautiful are
capable OF being so professionally; In
other words, of really making g business
of it. And then the constant dread Of
eclipse; newer and younger beauties are
coming upon the scene every day, and
the heyday of an attractive woman Is as
short as the life Of a butterhy.-HaTt

country in regard to eating frogs Is
gradually decreasing, and these are
found in the markets Of all our leading
cities. In the United States only the
hind legs are eaten, but In France and
Southern Europe, where they are used
In large quantities, the whole animal IS
consumed The freq, while largely
distributed over the world, Is nowhere
more abundant than IN this country,
and there Is no reason, therefore, why
it should not become a popular article

HOW PTCEWTCF IzYGUEsHED.

For the first five months of its e1-
istence Charles Dickens first serial,
"The Piclwick Papers, was a signal
failure. The average sale was only
about fifty copies of each Of the five
parts. Commercially, therefore the
publication was a decided failure. The
publishers seriously debated whether
they ought not discontinue it; but while
the question was under consideration
Sam Weller, who had been introduced
in the previous number. began to at
tract great attention and to call forth
much admiration. The press was all
but unanimous IN praising Sam as en-
tirely an original character, whom none
but a great genius could have created,
and all of a sudden, in consequence of
Sans popularity, "The Piclzsyick Pa
peri" rose to unheard-of favor. The back
numbers were ordered to a large ex-
tent and of course all idea of discontinu-
ing was abandoned By the time the
twelfth number was reached the pub
fishers were so gratifed with the signal
success to which the work had now at
tanned that they sent Mr.. Dickens a
check for $500. At its conclusion the
sale had reached about 10000 copies
per number. The publishers It was
understood at the time, made a clear
profit Of nearly 600, 600 after paying
